But with this legal platform I want it to be really simple and based on common law moreso than this complex maritime admiralty legal system that is kind of being forced down our throats where it's impossible for the small guy to have a fair voice.
I mean I'm talking simple things like for instance, a promissory note.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promissory_noteDefinition and usage of promissory notes are internationally established by the Convention providing a uniform law for bills of exchange and promissory notes, signed in Geneva in 1930.[6] Article 75 of the treaty stated that a promissory note shall contain:
the term "promissory note" inserted in the body of the instrument and expressed in the language employed in drawing up the instrument
an unconditional promise to pay a determinate sum of money;
a statement of the time of payment;
a statement of the place where payment is to be made;
the name of the person to whom or to whose order payment is to be made;
a statement of the date and of the place where the promissory note is issued;
the signature of the person who issues the instrument (maker).
Historically, promissory notes have acted as a form of privately issued currency. Flying cash or feiqian was a promissory note used during the Tang dynasty (618 – 907). Flying cash was regularly used by Chinese tea merchants, and could be exchanged for hard currency at provincial capitals.[9] According to tradition, in 1325 a promissory note was signed in Milan. There is evidence of promissory notes being issued in 1384 between Genova and Barcelona, although the letters themselves are lost. The same happens for the ones issued in Valencia in 1371 by Bernat de Codinachs for Manuel d'Entença, a merchant from Huesca (then part of the Crown of Aragon), amounting a total of 100 florins.[10] In all these cases, the promissory notes were used as a rudimentary system of paper money, for the amounts issued could not be easily transported in metal coins between the cities involved. Ginaldo Giovanni Battista Strozzi issued an early form of promissory note in Medina del Campo (Spain), against the city of Besançon in 1553.[11] However, there exists notice of promissory notes being in used in Mediterranean commerce well before that date.
But something simple that the common person could set one up in for instance by software or application. And you could have possibly a digital signature.
I'm not really good with legal matters though, that's why I would need some consultants that are liberty minded but also adept in legal matters. I'm sure they're out there.
